If there is a risk of heavy metal exposure at the workplace, it often makes sense to test for heavy metal exposure. It is important to consider a few points in advance. Our GSA measuring devices SG10-2A or PM4-2, for example, are suitable for this purpose.
These devices can be used to measure the particle measurements of the dust fraction of A-dust and/or E-dust.
Wood dust is classified as E-dust and poses a great risk of the particles settling in the lungs or affecting other parts of the body. For wood dust measurement and particle measurement of the dust fraction of E-dust, we recommend our measuring device SG10-2A for stationary measurement or the SG5100ex and SG5200 devices for personal measurement.
With regard to a wood dust explosion, we recommend our SG5100ex measuring device, as it has been specially developed for potentially explosive atmospheres.
It is often necessary to measure harmful substances in kindergartens.
In this case GSA Messgerätebau is the right contact, as we have more than 20 years of experience in the measurement and assessment of harmful substances in kindergartens and other public facilities.
If there is a suspicion of pollution in the kindergarten because an odor is perceived, symptoms of exposure to pollutants are increasing or other signs point to this (such as mold on the walls), a measurement should be considered.
28.04. is the World Day for Safety and Health at the Workplace.
This day was established in 1984 by the International Labor Organization (ILO) with a focus on prevention. The aim is to show that most accidents at work are avoidable. The protection of employees is particularly emphasized on this day, as better prevention not only protects health, but also saves costs. Every year, this day has a different motto.
The measuring device SG10-2A is technically more mature and has significantly improved innovations that make it easier to use.
In the area of pollutant analysis for biopollutants, the GSA Gesellschaft für Schadstoffanalytik mbH cooperates with a renowned external laboratory. Various sampling options are available.
Which one is the most suitable must be decided on an individual basis.
The safety officer must be differentiated from the safety specialist.
The term “occupational health and safety” covers various aspects. These interlock and build on each other. This is why we refer to the “5 pillars of occupational health and safety” in this article.
They include:
